THE DYING ROY.
PlUoved on a downy bed
Lay a little weary bend ;
Cold dew on the-!' reWend fair,
Moistening the soft brown hair;
Pale. fHVeet'quivering lips apart,]
And a faintly beating beartf
Told that death, unsparing death,
Soon would Btay life's feeble breath.
Evening fllled the silent room
With a fast Enoreasing gloom ;
Io tiie West a lingering ray
Prom i!i" half closed eyes of day, ■
"\vi;li ;? dreamy languid light,
Seemed to bid the world good night;
Thou dark clouds came roiling by,
Spreading onward o'er the iky.
Bowed by grief that seemed to ho
Voiceless from Intensity.
Votlonlessaa sculptured stone,
The father sat and watched alone ;
Haggard were aia looks and wild,
I'';*, ri intently on the child ;
Every earthly hope and joy
ratting, dying, with bis boy.
Slowly, Buroly ebbed lifc:fs tide,
Heaven's gates were opening wide:
To those accents, low yet clear,
Quick ho bent with eager ear ;
Poi the bands (twin snowdrops) lay
Folded seemingly to pray,
And the lips devoutly were
Uurmuring a childish prayer.
With their rsdiftot wings out tprsafij ■
Angela stood around that bed,
Waiting until heaven's degree,
Bet the clay-bound spirit free ;
In that hour there flashed a light
Like a sunbeam, yet mon.? bright,
O'er the boy ; and when it tied
Left the living witb tbe dead.
Now, ftmongst a white robed throng,
Joining in their ca iseless song,
Stands I??? by that throne whose blase
Floods all heaven with dazzling raysj
Angels In the light It shed*,
Veil their glory crowned heads,.
Little pilgrim, early blest,
Gone to God's eternal rest
AsnevSoan Church Architecture,
nr TOES (i. &AXM,
Rome lofty dome of oojssecrated brickf.
Where all the " orders'-' iu disorder mix.
To form a temple whose incongruous frame
Co ifiniudr-; th'sign, and put?' the arts to shame ;
Wh(*re " styles" discordant on the vision jar ;
Where '■ Creek" and " llomau" are again at war,
And, as of old, the unrelenting " Goth"
Comes down at last and overwhelms ihem both !
Onoe on a time I heard a parson Bay,
(Talking of churches iu a sprightly way,)
That there Was more religion in the walls
Of towering Trinity or grand St. Paul's,
Than one could Hud upon the strictest »'arch,
Iu half the f:V:ui..-i wiUiia the Christian Chinch ;
A lawyer sitting at the Parson's side,
To this new dogma thus at once replied :
" If. m you say, religion has ber homo
In the me.-;? walls that form the sacred dome,
It seems to me tlie. very plainest case,
To climb the steeple were a growth in grace ;
Aud he to whom tiie pious strength were given
lo reach the highest—were tlie nearest heaven !"

A Hard Sliell l.'tvpiltt Sermon.
The Baltimore American bas received from a
friend iu Lexington, Ky., the following "Hard
Shell Sermon/' which he avers to be genuine. It
about crjnals, in closeness of argument and strict
adherence to the text, the ''spontaneous efforts'
ot tbe clerical hero who played upQn a li harp of a
thousand strings!"
" My brethring : The Scripture tell us, 'we are
buried with Christ by baptism.' ' Buried,' my
friends, not ■' sprinkled' by baptism.
"Suppose tbat one of you bad lost your little
da'ter, and you had laid ber out, and prepared lie1'
forthc grave ; and your neighbors had como in
and said: ' Friend, we will take thy child and
bury it,' and afterward, when you went out to see
tae grave of your little one, you Cud they had
laid ber down and only sprinkled a little earth
over her ! What would you have thunk of Ihem ?
" Suppose, again, that in tho fall of the jear
you had dug your potatoes, your turnips, your
parsnips, and your other roots for winter's use,
and had dug a trench to bury 'em in ; andyouhad
s;iid to your servant: " Sally take the house gang
and go and bury those potatoes, those turnips,
those parsnips, and other roots ;" and afterward?,
when you walked forth to see that all were secure
for tbe winter's use, you bad found that they had

A con'roversy iu regard to tbe value of the property held by tho Corporation of Trinity Church
[n New fork Oity, has beeu for a long time carried on between Rev. Dr. BbbMAN, the Rector oi
Trinity, on the one side, and now by Judge Wir,-
ii.*.i Jay. Ur. Bi-uuir-u'ri pamphict, entitled, Facta
against Fancy. In which he makes Statements of
the vnlue of all the property which now yields an
income to the Corporation, bas called forth along
reply from Judge Jay, in whioh he presents a
great array of rebutting statistics.
From the Rector's pamphlet it appears that the
yearly income from the Church property is not
quite $90,000. Judge JiT replies, tbat although
this waa the actual amount due and received dur-
ng the past year, yet to say that this is the largest-
total of tho general annual receipts, will greatly
mislead ths public as to the intrinsic worth ofthe
property involved.
lie says, that from more than half the lots only
nominal rents are received in consequence ofthe
remote periods of the giving of the leases, during
which property was far lower in value than at
present.
The Lispenard lease, comprising nearly one
hundred lots, yields now a yearly rent of $3 from
each lot, win-ret:.:-! in six years from thia date, or iu
1862, when the lease will expire, the rents will be
immediately increased a thousand fold. Another
lease of nearly four hundred lots, also given when
property was very low, stipulated to run for nine-
ty-niue years, yields but three quarters ofa dollar
annually on each lot. Tbis lease will terminate
in 1866, and the income from the lots now covered
by it will be increased in a ratio no less than tbat
ofthe new valuation of the Lispenard property.
He sayn that " one lot oa Broadway, between Murray and Warren streets, gives one pepper-corn
annually, arid another in Murray street supplies
the corporation with the same quantity of condiment annually." He remarks of the new valuations soon to be put upon these lots, that " the
pepper-corns will be exchanged for thousands of
dollars."
Tho whole property in tbe possession ofthe Corporation comprises about one thousand lots, which
are worth, according to the calculation of Dr.
BBBraAN, nearly $10,000,000. Dr. Tyxcj says that,
even according to this estimate, there is no ecclesiastical corporation in England which has so
much wealth in its treasury, and be questions
whether any similiar organization in the world
possesses so great an amount of moneyed means.

A StffilBSlAM os thb Stagb.—I once saw a sunbeam stealing through a crevice in the roof, and
glancing upon the darkened stage, at a rehearsal.
That single streak of golden light, falling upon
the dust, and pain:, and faded scenery, and glaring
imitations of nature, spoke to me, in a thrilling
tone, of green, murmuring foliage ; of air voiceful
witb rural sounds; of the flower-studded earth;
of nature's rich storehouse of vernal treasures ; ot
all tlmt sunbeam shone upon, lar away from tbis
mockery aud drudgery, this mimickry aud misery.
As I watched the beam illuminating the surrounding gloom, my mind was filled with fresh aud
strengthening aspirations, that, belonged not to
this life of representation, that had no a'linUy with
the place or the hour. It is years ago, yet 1 have
never forgotten that one ray of light, and the sensations and "reflections whioh it called into existence.—Anna Cora Ritchie.

arrived last nigb-t frjm St. Peterabarg, and the

predominant power were right; she in so. She
reigna in Boesia; she governs the Czar entirely;
he ia adored by the nation ; she governs the
Grrand Duke Conatantine completely ; she is the
superior, the dominant infinenee ; but those who
though! hm' inclined towards peace wore quite at. I
fault. What she may have been some months

R.vniEit Tart.—The second wife of the witty
Judge S——, while taking a ride with the Judge
one day, said, in rather a reproachful way, as the
horse was drawing them up the hill, " My father
always walks up all the hills."
" So did'roy fir;-t wife," was the reply.
" There,'' salt! Mrs. S , giving him some trill \ " that is the return for your abuse."
" Yes," said he, " you are like a sandal tree that
sheds its sweetness on the axe that cuts it down."

Prektiob on Ltbig.—The Loiti-ville Jour
says:—The editor of the Democrat, in still another paragraph about bloody Monday, makes a.u
assertion and then Bays, " we challenge the editor
ofthe Journal to tell a bigger lie than that." We

his whole life between two employments—telling
very big lies ono half the time, and bigger ones
'tother half. The truth is, he lies always—and
that's the only truth about him.

A Woman's Wit.—Among the jokes which have
been perpetrated during the long detentions on the
railroads ol the Atlantic States, occasioned by the
deep snow, is the following capital one, clipped
from a Vermont paper :
"Madame.," said a conductor, a day or two since
your boy can't pass at half fare, he's too large." '
He may be too large now," replied the woman,
who bad paid for a half ticket, " but he was small
enough when tee started."'
Thb teacher is not always surrounded by sunshine in the school room. It is a phantom hope
to expect to be. Sunshine, darkness and shade
alternate at almost stated intervals. Therefore,
the teacher that embarks in the responsible calling ofthe guidance and guardance of the youthful mind, mast certainly be qualified for the position or he will fail, in the same proportion as he
lacks qualification to discharge the duties of his
trust.

poor horne was ready to drop from laf-ijue.
At length a sort of dark Una became viable in

self on tlie borders of a fcBest, "Oh I" ba exclaimed, "lam all right now ; I shall easily find
my way now lo Jadrino." He entered the forest,
of which the branches were so thickly interlaced
that the snow had not penetrated through them,
and the road was easy to follow. The horse pricked up his ears, and went on readily, while Yladl*
mir felt his **pirits revive.
However, as tbe"? say in the fairy tales, be went

in the shutter opened, and thewhito beard of an
old man appeared.
•• What do you vant?"

At this reply, Vladimir telt lite a criminal condemned to execution.
"Can yam," said he, "' furnish me with hones.

■■ We bave no horses."
" Well, then., a guide ; I will give him whatever

Tbe window was carefully doa-rd, and a lonsid-
able time elapsed. Vladimir,whose impatience
beaaame quite uncontrollable, kaooked again loud"
ly at the shutter.
Tbe old man reappeared,
'• What do you want ?"
" Your sou."
" He's coming : he is dressing himself. Are you

having paid and dismissed his guide, battened

to hear J

,iiiijv>ii of the master oi Nenaradof. Ju*t oo*

wife got up us usual and went into the m ting'
r.iriii—C.irit-i Gabrilawtob in his wroileB vest
ti;:, his night-cap, aud Petrownain ber dressing*
fea was served, and Gabria I sent a maid to in*

tat her young mistress had passed a restless
light, but tbat she now felt bet er and was cam-
.ug down. Iu a few minute,.* Mari entered and
itjini.ir.ic-'d her parents.
" How do you feel my poor little one?" asked
ber father.
" Better,'' w s the answer.
The day passed ou as usual; but towards evening Mari became very ill and feverish. The family
physician wits .summoned from the nearest town,
and when he arrived he found bis patient iu a
high fever. During fourteen days she continued
on the brink ofthe grave.
Nothing was known of her nocturnal flight, as
the waiting maid, for her own sake, was prudently

accomplices, even after having drank wine,breathe !

and, as the result ef that conference, it was unan
monsly decided tkat Mari wafl destined to marry
theeusigu—that One cannot avoid one's fate—that
riches do not insure happiness—and otber line
uasiiue of the same kind.
The invalid recovered. Vladimir, during her
sickness, had usver appeared at the house; nnd
determined that his unexpected good fortune should be announced to him—th-t lie should
be told be was'now free to marry his beloved.—
What was the asttralshment of the proud owners
of Nenaradof. when thej received in ceplya letter
from the young ensign, in which be declared that
be would never eater thefr dwelling again, and
prayed them to forget au Unhappy being, for whom
dealt was the only rdugc.
A few days afterwards, they learned that Vladimir had rejoined the army. It art- in 1812. No
on?' ever mentioned his name to Mari, nor did sh
berteif allude to him iu any way. Two or litre
months claused, and one day she .saw Iii:-; nam
greet them. The ofliah-rs wbo bad sat out rs mere

Time of Ln60ioeable glory ! Hww tbe heart of a
Iliissniu 111 en bounded at lbe name ot his country.
, A colonel of hussars, named Voiirmiu, wearing
in liis liution hole Iin' Craws of St. George, and on
his lace an interesting patents**^ came to speinl tt
few months' leave of nb,«ence on his estate, which
joined lhat where Mari was r«sid.ug. The young
girl received him with far more ibOW of laa'or than
she had hitherlo beslowcd upon any of her victors-
Tiiey ra-sumbled each other in many particulars;
both were^iantl-oui'*. plea-flag, intelU't:lii;ti, --ilent
and reserved. There was a speolea of mystery in
the demeanor of /ourmin, which ptquaad the oorlo*
aitv and excited the interest of the heirfss. Ue
videutly admired her, paid her every possible at*
teutiou-—why did lie never speak of love I Se had
;ici[iiired a habit of liiing hifi bright dark a?yes on
hers, halt in reverie, and half with an expression
that seemed to declare the approach ot a deoialve
ex-planalion. Alrendy the neighbors spoke of (lu?
marriage as a decialed business ; and Petrowiia rejoiced at the thought tbat ber daughter would Bt
length bave a husband worthy of ber.
One morning, when the good lady was seated En
her drawing-room, Vouiinin entered and enquired
for Marl.
" She is in tlie garden." replied Petrowiia.—
i- You will find her there, if you wish to see her.''
Tbe colonel went out hastily; and Petrowna,
making the sign of tlig cross, mur ured loha?rself,
" God be praised 1 I hope everything will be arranged to-day."
Voormlii found his lady-love drepsod in white,
seated beneath a tree, close by a lake, with a book
on ber knee, like any heroine of romance. After
the interchange ofa few common place sentence."..
Vouriiiin, with considerable agitation, told her
lhat lor a long lime he htd been alesirous of opening bis mind to her. aud now prayed ber to listen
to bim for a few momenta, .She closed her book,
and cust down In-r eyes in token of assent.
"I love you!"' exclaimed Vuuruiiu—"I love
you ardently !:'
Mari bent down her head a little more.

head that he could shorten the way by cross-
